KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment - White KSMVSA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder/slicer works great. When I opened the box, there were three blades that fit into the attachment. There was a large shredder, a small shredder, and a slicer. The attachment easily fit onto the front of my mixer. I then snapped one of the blades in until you hear a click…easy. I then plugged in the mixer. I decided to use the large shredder on some cheese. I cut my cheese into small chunks to make it easier to put in. Turn your mixer on by putting it on setting 4. Once I drop in the cheese use your push tool to ensure it starts shredding. I used the big mixing bowl to catch it. Even with the bowl underneath, a few pieces still went in various directions. Even with me pushing through as much as possible there were a few pieces that didn’t get shredded. I would’ve had to unplug, take the blade off and get the pieces out and run them back through. Except for a few pieces, it shredded most of my cheese: I then decided to try the slicer, I peeled a potato to use. I unplugged the mixer and switched out the blades. This was very easy to do. I snapped the slicer in. I cut my potato in chunks and pushed it through. It came out in thin slices. I did not see any of the potato left on the slicer that got caught. It appeared to not have any left over. I was impressed at the ease of using the whole thing. It was easy to attach and switch out blades. The instructions said the blades were dishwasher safe, but to hand wash the attachment. I ran the blades through the dishwasher, and they came out perfect. Overall, this is a great attachment. It is easy to use and works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quicker than had shred, I find it gunks up. Maybe I'm pushing too hard. It's easy to clean and setup, so maybe I need to work on techinque. Easy to install as well. This was both with softer cheese like pepper jack and harder cheese like cheddar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment. Full transparency, I’m not the cook in my house. My wife is. It’s not a chauvinist thing. I grill but can’t prep or cook like she can. The usage portion of the review is from her perspective. In the box (which due to how well the box and styrofoam inserts are made, doubles as a storage case), you get a Slicer/Shredder attachment, a Slicing Blade (3mm), a Medium Shredding Blade (4mm), a Coarse Shredding Blade (6mm), a 2-in-1 Food Pusher, and instructions. The included manual tells you all that you need to know to get started and to prep/slice your foods. Everything is built to the high standards that KitchenAid is known for (backed by an “okay-ish” one year warranty… and everything included (except the fresh prep slicer/shredder attachment, which must be washed by hand) is dishwasher safe, making cleanup a snap. I should know, as my wife cooks and I clean… only fair. My wife used the 6mm Coarse Shredding Blade attachment with a 7-quart bowl-lift KitchenAid stand mixer to shred white and yellow cheddar cheese blocks for a baked macaroni and cheese… which was deee-licious. She noted the following: The slicer/shredder attachment was super easy to install and remove. After lifting the plug on the stand’s top housing’s motor, insert the blade into the slicer/shredder housing ‘il you hear a click, slide the slicer/shredder attachment into the housing motor, tighten the housing knob. That’s it. It locks solidly in place. To remove, perform the actions in reverse. After removing the slicer/shredder attachment, press the release lever on the slicer/shredder attachment to remove the blade. Simple. As far as results, she said that it did take a little bit to get used to how much cheese she could process at any given time. She initially tried to push too much of the block in, and while the grater chugged along, the issue was that the hollow area inside the grater would get clogged, if she didn’t stop every once in a while and use a spatula to help the grated cheese out of the grater. I asked whether she thought this was a design flaw. She said, no… the approach made sense. You just have to take your time and clear the grater (especially with soft cheese) every once in a while. She noted that when you get to a certain point on the cheese block that the grater can’t seem to process it. So you end up with some remaining cheese chunks, which is no different than a manual grater (and with the included food pusher, you don’t chance skinning your fingers/knuckles in the process). She also said, compared to using an old-school manual grater, this thing was so much faster and easier that she wished we got it a long time ago. We’ve been married 22 years if that’s any indicator. I asked her for her star rating on the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment. She said that it’s a solid four-star in that it delivers exactly as promised. Five stars goes above and beyond. I asked her if she’d recommend the purchase to others. She said, “Definitely. First it’s KitchenAid, so you know it’s good. Second, it makes the entire shredding process, from start to finish, super simple compared to manual graters.” She said she loved the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment set and certainly recommends it to anyone considering it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great addition to our KitchenAid (and kitchen)! Super easy connection to our exiting mixer. No additional parts needed other than what comes in the box. Thus far the slicer has done an excellent job with everything we’ve tried. Looking forward to using more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KitchenAid products never disappoints and neither did this one. These slicer and shredder attachments save so much time in meal prep. You can shred cheese one minute and just switch out the attachment and start slicing your vegetables. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great attachment to the Kitchen Aid mixer. The Kitchen Aid mixer has been the main small appliance since we got the pasta maker attachment, which is also great. Some times we slice veggies in advance and store them. The attachments are very easy to clean. It’s one of this things that you look back and think how did you live your life without it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this but the chute is prohibitively small. I tried slicing an English cucumber and it was too large. When I was able to get food sliced small enough to fit through the vegetables came out slightly massacred. Even carrots that are pretty robust came out destroyed. I followed the instructions but this really isn’t a substitute for a mandolin or slicing by hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have a kitchen aid, you should get this shredder attachment. It makes slicing and dicing a breeze. While it does take more time to clean than a knife, it is worth it when you are done chopping in seconds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This attachment came in a box that was fit for a YouTube unboxing video! My husband and I were so very impressed with the way it was boxed and shipped.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this! I hated grating cheese for all my dishes by hand, this is great since my mixer sits out on the counter, I can just throw this on real quick and before you know it I have freshly grated cheese to eat or put on my salad!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is an absolute rock star for making homemade mac and cheese. Long gone are the days of me hand-grating two blocks of cheese, cutting myself along the way. Instead, I just plug this thing in and get the job done in no time. It's easy to use, attaches quickly and easily. It does a great job with those carrots, and also with cheese and cabbage. Cleans up nicely, although all those carrots have left an orange stain on the tool, but that doesn't interfere with its functioning. Highly recommend!
